Jazzfest Leg 2 @ Fairgrounds 5/6/12

I enjoyed Glen David Andrews in the Blues Tent.  Joe Krown was listed next but they played the day before.  I was wondering what they were gonna do with that time slot.  They ended up giving it to Glen David Andrews, so they had a very long time slot.  I therefore stopped by a couple of times.  It was good.  I think it would have been nice to have Joe Krown play a 2nd day.

I love Galactic.  Their jazzfest set is always great.  It was wild they were playing at the same time as the Funky Meters.  I left the great Galactic time to go get some Meters.  It seems I'm done with The Meters.  There was a time when I wanted to see them every night.  I still enjoy funk a lot, I just overdid it and now I need it to be new and fresh.

The Living Tribute to Harold Battiste in the Jazz Tent was great.
